Whether you are a Data Analyst, Scientist, or Power Platform Developer, the first set of Apps you will use at resumption to work wouldn't be Python, Power BI, or Power Apps. They are most likely to be Outlook, Excel, MS Teams, MS Word, PowerPoint, etc.. The reason why you need to get familiar with collaboration and productivity Apps.
Also, performance has also been measured in your ability to collaborate and your rate of productivity. If you don't know how to leverage Microsoft Apps and Services for collaboration and to work productively with them, you are already limiting your output and might affect your performance in the workplace.
